first a definition file will be created (named "name".%) into which
you enter the required fields, validation info, etc. Then the
definition file is written out and used to define the IN file, into
which you enter data.
DEFN Overwritten No Undefined Definition file. Must contain the
following fields:- FIELD, TYPE, LENGTH, STORED, FORM, FMIN, FMAX,

Notes Automatic creation of definition file.
If the input file does not exist, and no definition file was
entered, then a definition file will be created as the initial
stage of editing. Values are entered into it in exactly the same
way as for any other file. The definition file is created to allow
you to set up all the field names, types, lengths etc. that you
require in the file you will be entering. The defi- nition file
also allows you to set up field maxima and minima and permitted
values for validation.
Names/meanings of fields are given on next help screen. On exit
(/E command) then the definition file will be saved as "name".%,
where "name" is the name of the input file, and a file data
definition will be created from the definition file for you to
enter data into.
If you exit the editor using Quit (/Q) or Output (/O) then the
definition file will be lost and AED abandoned.
The definition fields are:-
FIELD The field name you require (up to 8 chars). TYPE A
(alphanumeric) or N (Numeric) only. LENGTH In characters of the
field: 4 for numeric. STORED Y (Yes, for explicit) or N (No,
implicit). FORM Reserved for format; not currently used. FMIN
Minimum permitted value (numeric fields). FMAX Maximum permitted
value (numeric fields). INCR Control on field values, appended
records: - Field will initially be set to default; 0 Field will be
same as preceding record; +n Numeric field will be incremented by
n. VALUES If one entry only: a default value. If more than one,
separated by commas, a full set of permitted values for the
field.
Sub-commands.
These apply to all files, including the definition file. All
commands are followed by .
z /A Set current field blank
z /B Bottom of file.
z /C/name/ Change field name
z /n,mD Delete lines n,m
z /E End editor, saving file
z /F/field/ Set edit field.

will be created from the definition file. Whenever a definition
file exists, it may be used for validation. If both the input and
the validation file exist, then input file entries will be
validated against the definition file.

information that will be included in the help display. An
alphanumeric field named APPHLP will be expected, with a maximum of
56 characters displayed.

then this file will be written to "name".$, which will subsequently
copied to "name".% before being cleared. The Data Definition for

UNSORTED
Unsorted flag. Default (0).
Option Description
0- An accumulated total is written to the OUT file every time
the keyfield[s] changes. Hence, if the IN file is sorted on the
keyfield[s] there will be 1 entry in OUT for each keyfield[s]
value. If IN is not sorted on the keyfield[s], there may be
multiple entries for the same keyfield[s] value in the OUT
file.
1
- The accumulation is over all records with the same keyfield[s]
value. Hence there will only be 1 entry in OUT for each keyfield[s]
value, irrespective of whether the IN file is sorted or not. N.B.
If UNSORTED=1, the cumulative totals option ALLRECS cannot be used.
The process will automatically set ALLRECS to 0 if UNSORTED=1.

calculate-anisotropy-angles (ANISOANG)
Calculates anisotropy angle data for input to ESTIMA. The
process creates a points file containing coordinate fields and
angle fields dip and dip direction. This is suitable for input to
ESTIMA in order to interpolate the angles into a block model that
can then be used with the dynamic anisotropy option for grade
estimation. The inputs to the process are a wireframe file and / or
one or two string files. The dip and dip direction of each triangle
and each string segment are calculated and written to the output
points file.

MINDIRN
Minimum value (in degrees) of dip direction angle to be written
to the output points file. If a value less than the minimum is
calculated it will be rejected. Angles are calculated from minimum
to maximum in a clockwise direction. Hence a minimum of 330o and a
maximum of 20o will define a window of 50o. If MINDIRN is not
defined, or set to absent, it will not be used. If MINDIRN is
defined it must lie between 0o and 360o. Both MINDIRN and MAXDIRN
must be specified in order for limits to be applied. The default is

Convert apparent dip angle to true dip angle. The process is
designed to take as input a file containing the apparent dip and
true dip direction angles and to create as output a file including
the true dip angle. The main purpose is to take a model file into
which the apparent dip and true dip direction angles have been
interpolated and create the true dip direction angle so that the
model can be used as input to the dynamic anisotropy option in
ESTIMA. However the input file does not have to be a model file -
any file that incudes the two input angles can be processed.

Notes
Composite design and evaluation in a blast.
A blast outline is selected, and the blast holes within it
displayed.
Composites maythen be designed, evaluated and stored.
GENERAL PRINCIPLES
COMPEV takes as input two compulsory files, one containing one
or more blast outlines as perimeters, and the second containing a
set of blast-holes for one or more benches. These blast-holes are
assumed to be vertical; they are treated as points, located at a
particular X,Y,Z location. They must have an identifier (BHID), and
they may also have a LENGTH field which will be used for weighting
if it exists. INITIAL DISPLAY. The user selects a blast from the
input file to work on; this defines both the Bench and Blast
numbers which will remain in force until a new blast is chosen.
If the blast specified is not on file (e.g. blast 0) then all
holes on the input file will be read, and a dummy rectangular
outline constructed around them. The program automatically works
out the co-ordinate limits of this blast, and will compute a
rotation angle to align the major axis of the blast along the
screen X axis; the user may override this if required. The blast is
then shown on the graphics screen, with the blast holes
superimposed. A set of gridlines in the original co-ordinate system
is also shown, rotated if the blast was rotated.
Different colours may be chosen (under user control) for the two
axes, to give an indication of which axis is which. A suitable grid
size is chosen automatically, but the user may change or suppress
this if required (DEFAULTS [/CF] command). A set of colours is
automatically chosen to display blast-hole grades in, based upon
the first grade field found in the blast-hole file.
The user may choose different fields, colours, grade ranges etc.
by use of the SD command. A title is automatically generated giving
the Bench and Blast numbers; again, this may be substituted by use
of the TI command. During the blast selection process, the user is
given the choice of accepting all the blast-holes or of only
selecting
